Workflow focus: local AI for legal due diligence

Local AI for legal due diligence

Associates spend hours opening PDFs one by one. PrivateDocs AI turns supported data-room files into a queryable local vault, with citations to retrieved source passages, without sending document content to a vendor AI cloud.

How it works

The legal & due diligence workflow, on your hardware

Chat with supported data-room files — NDAs, purchase agreements, and disclosure schedules — without sending document content to a third-party AI cloud.

1

Drop the data room

Add supported files from the VDR export to the desktop app. PDFs and Word drafts are ingested locally; Advanced Parsing enables OCR for image-only PDFs.

2

Index locally

Documents are embedded with an on-device model and stored in a local ChromaDB vault. Nothing is uploaded; the index lives on the associate's machine.

3

Ask grounded questions

Query indemnity caps, carve-outs, defined terms, and cross-references across supported files. Answers may include citations to retrieved source passages.

4

Export for the memo

Copy cited passages, draft callouts, and trace definitions back to the source file. Privileged work-product stays on hardware the firm controls.

What you get

Outcomes for legal & due diligence

Compare indemnity caps, baskets, and carve-outs across every draft in seconds.
Trace defined terms and cross-references without flipping through PDF tabs.
Keep attorney work-product and client-NDA-bound material off third-party clouds.
Onboard summer associates with Q&A over the matter rather than a 400-page binder.
Run entirely offline after activation — secure on flights, in court, and at client sites.

Local-only by design

Inference, embeddings, and vector search run on the user's machine. No vendor data path to audit.

Cited answers

Every response links back to the exact source paragraph or row, so verification never means re-reading the binder.

Scales with your corpus

Retrieval pulls only the relevant chunks per query — your index can be terabytes, not pages, with no per-token billing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is PrivateDocs AI safe for attorney work-product and privileged material?

Yes. The entire RAG pipeline — ingestion, embedding, vector storage, and LLM inference — runs on the user's machine. No document, chunk, or prompt is sent to PrivateDocs AI or any third-party server. That makes it suitable for attorney work-product, client-NDA-bound material, and privileged content that prohibits vendor cloud processing.

How does citation work for due diligence?

Answers can include citations that link back to retrieved source material. Clicking a citation helps associates verify a carve-out or defined term against the original file.

Can we use it offline at the courthouse or on a plane?

Yes. After setup and activation, core inference and vector search can run without an internet connection. OCR availability depends on the supported document path and parsing settings.

Does it replace our existing legal AI tools?

Not necessarily. Many firms run a cloud tool for non-sensitive research and PrivateDocs AI for confidential matters. The two are complementary — but the moment a document is covered by an NDA or privilege, PrivateDocs AI is the only option that keeps the content fully on-device.
